It's a computer animated Sci-Fi movie. Kind of a Sci-Fi fairy tale actually.Storyline: Young roboter boy goes to town, finds a girl and makes his fortune.
Solid movie if you know what I mean.
In fact, it reminded me of the development of real domestic robots. Robots that somehow look similar to the human body and do all sorts of useful things for their respective owners.
The research and development on such robots is obviously mainly pushed in Asia in these days, mostly by Japanese companies such as Toyota, Honda, Sony and Fujitsu.
If it came to the German public that a German company was working on that matter, I'm not sure what happened. But I can imagine the voices: They'll kill even the last workingplaces.
And what about German (maybe European ?) managers: Domestic robots ? What's that ? A rediculous new nonsense toy ? Only those Japanese guys can think of such a playful stuff. What a waste of money !
However, last time when their honorable manager fathers were that clever, they decided liquid cristal displays were a nice but useless development. Shortly after, Japanese digital watches made their glorious entrance into the German market.
So, of course, I think different: What a big help would these domestic robots mean to elder people in our society ! Less babies are being born and our society is aging. Even if the domestic robots were just capable of simple actions, there'd be a market. And these robots could be on duty almost 24/7. This also in regard to the fact that a 24 hr social worker is more expensive than a robot.
Domestic robots could perform simple actions like opening or closing a window, picking up the newspaper downstairs, preparing a coffee or tea or just carrying all sorts of things like shopping bags into the car or kitchen or bring out the trash can.
Well, let's just wait another five years.
